I read Inside WikiLeaks by Assange's former partner, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, who described Assange as every bit the narcissist and power-lover as Trump. With some corroborating research, I felt less inclined to believe WikiLeaks was without its flaws. While I promote its cause, Assange himself definitely has an agenda.
I was hoping somebody would post some articles about Assange's reaction to Soros' leaks. Maybe I'd be able to gain more insight into Assange's thoughts and intent.
Oh but there's more:
> ...Trump’s lawyers pressured the publisher, W. W. Norton, to paste a clarifying statement from Ivana into the flyleaf of every copy. In it, she confirmed that she had said in a deposition that her husband had “raped” her, but added that she did not want those words to be interpreted in “a literal or criminal sense.” She also said, “As a woman, I felt violated.” Hurt said that he considers the note a non-denial denial, and believes that Ivana agreed to amend her words in order to secure the divorce settlement, in which she reportedly received fourteen million dollars in cash.
So it's a documented fact that Donald Trump--the man that the Republican party nominated and ultimately elected President of the United States of America--beat and raped his wife, paid her to stop calling it rape, and pressured her and a publisher to "clarify" the whole sordid affair.
But there's still more. The book in question was making headlines just before the election, but it was actually published 25 years ago. So either the GOP didn't do any oppo research at all on their guy, or they knew exactly what a contemptuous piece of shit he was and it didn't bother them.
A light read perhaps?
Her account of the situation is in Lost Tycoon.
It's quoted in this article.
Obama: The Postmodern Coup
>Barack Obama is a deeply troubled personality, the megalomaniac front man for a postmodern coup by the intelligence agencies, using fake polls, mobs of swarming adolescents, super-rich contributors, and orchestrated media hysteria to short-circuit normal politics and seize power.
Deep within the secret military research bunker of the Goethe University Frankfurt, a secret meeting of the world's most nefarious Jewish global bankers, postermodernist philosophers, cultural Marxists, and spooky dudes in robes chanting in Latin chose a Kenyan boy to be their agent to undermine truth and the American way.
From my minimal understanding
at least you have enough self-awareness to know your understanding is minimal.
Research on animal behavior has refuted the claims that wolves are constantly trying to establish dominance.
this has a good summary of the evidence.

Never ever?
It sounds like you thought you were voting for the Reality TV host. If you'd never heard anyone say he's a moron IRL, you need to reevaluate your sources. I am from NYC. And we've known the dangerous moron with daddy's money the whole time.
How did you miss:
Everyone knew. Unless you get your news from reality TV shows. And ignore facts that you don't like. Hell, just the fact that he didn't release his tax returns was a red flag. You just have a habit of ignoring warning signs you don't like.
Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy Paperback – October 10, 2006
used copy for as low as 75 cents
An interesting book is "Emergency Sex, and Other Desperate Measures" some short stories from UN workers.
https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Sex-Other-Desperate-Measures/dp/1401352014
The book was published by big 5 Harper (!), the graphic novel by Regnery, the biggest publisher of conservative books since the 1950s.
To understand what was going on in China, you need to go back to the cultural revolution. Everything in modern Chinese history is somewhat related to that event/time period.
"Mao officially declared the Cultural Revolution to have ended in 1969, but its active phase lasted until the death of the military leader Lin Biao in 1971. After Mao's death and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976 (ADDED: TianAnMen happened April 4, 1976 before Mao's death, leading to Deng XiaoPing being blamed, and purged for a second time before he was able to reform the country later), reformers led by Deng Xiaoping gradually began to dismantle the Maoist policies associated with the Cultural Revolution. In 1981, the Party declared that the Cultural Revolution was "responsible for the most severe setback and the heaviest losses suffered by the Party, the country, and the people since the founding of the People's Republic" (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution)
The cultural revolution was, essentially, a way for Chairman Mao ZeDong to save face after the disastrous "great leap forward", which caused a nationwide famine that killed millions when everyone was ordered to melt down all of their metal to try and industrialize overnight, and create smelters in every backyard, but when all of the tools were destroyed there wasn't any way to harvest crops - everyone but party elites starved.
The cultural revolution was a way for the farmers to overthrow the educated non-party teachers/doctors/business people and, all or most, of the intellectuals were killed and/or sent to farming work camps to learn to be farmers, while farmers learned to be doctors, lawyers, etc. by doing (rather than education).
This is a really good book on the time period, and understanding how Mainland China became what it is today. "Life and Death in Shanghai" by Nien Cheng https://www.amazon.com/Life-Death-Shanghai-Cheng-Nien/dp/0802145167
Before I visited, I read everything I could get my hands on, lots of different books from different people and perspectives. I had read countless articles and discussions on the Internet but it wasn't until fairly recently that I actually discovered you could visit (a lot of people have the common misconception that the borders are closed to everyone).
> Have you read any of the memoirs written by people who escaped the prison camps?
Actually, the first book I read about NK was titled "Escape from Camp 14", it's about a defector named Shin Dong-hyuk who was actually born in the camps and managed to escape. His testimony is absolutely harrowing and his experience truly sounds like hell on earth.
I believe the political situation is extremely complicated and there are a lot of reasons why the status quo is maintained. I really do hope that one day the country will be unified again.

socialism in one city is my favorite chapter, that dude had some good ideas in burlington
In the order that I would rank them--
Lament for a Nation by George Grant
While Canada Slept: How We Lost Our Place in the World by Andrew Cohen
The Friendly Dictatorship by Jeffrey Simpson
EDIT: These are particularly Canadian politics reads.
Brian Doherty wrote a fairly comprehensive history of the LP and the broader libertarian movement called Radicals for Capitalism in 2007 as well as Ron Paul's rEVOLution in 20012. For a state/local level view of this same world, Pat Dixon has a short tome called Primary Screenout centering around his time as chair of the LP of Texas and his campaigns and stint in office on the Lago Vista City Council.
Sure, glad you asked.
With all due respect, you seem to hold yourself as morally superior then those who lean right. Many people on the left do this, as they feel as though they are morally superior in their beliefs. Left leaning political figures will often attack the character of their opponent, rather then the argument. The ad hominem attack fallacy is their #1 go to in any argument. You are bad because I'm moral and you are not.
One example comes to mind, and it's a debate between Ben Shapiro and Pierce Morgan regarding gun laws post Sandyhook.
If you don't agree with the moral ramblings of someone like Pierce Morgan it's not because you have a different opinion then he does, it's because you are a hateful bigot that loves seeing dead children.
It's what the left does, often and well.
#metoo - I say you should have evidence, and the person being accused of sexual assault should be convicted before labeling him a rapist. But people who believe this are often met with condemnations of being a misogynist from the left.
Again, believe my bull shit or you're a bad person.
You see it on here often as well, another example comes to mind and that's the many posts in support of the Humboldt bus driver who killed like 16 or 17 people. If you say anything even remotely negative about the truck driver, you're a racist white man.
Though continually condemning our premier Scott Moe for an at fault accident in which a woman died is perfectly fine.
Typical double standard, depending on which victim group you belong to.
For the record, killing someone (or a shit load of people) due to an at fault accident is horrible. But I mention this only to bring a spot light on the hypocrisy I often read on this sub.
Anyway, other then the examples presented before I had a chance to comment the top examples I would have used have all been mentioned (and very well detailed) in the book I'll link below.
Any leftist apologist detailed in this book, you can google yourself and you will find well documented sources backing it up.
I could list each person, with links, but this one link makes my point well enough:
https://www.amazon.ca/Do-As-Say-Not-Hypocrisy/dp/0767919025
Just read up on every person, self described liberals, mentioned in this book and you'll see this for yourself.
Looks like shit people on both sides, not saying conservatives in Canada and Republicans in the US are free from shit heads here.
No one side, politically, has a monopoly on holding people "to a higher standard" lol.
. . . also, for the record, I love Bill Maher and read and listen to whatever I can on him as well. So I don't just lean right.
​
Search for any of Brian Doherty's article's at Reason Magazine, or check out his book: http://www.amazon.com/Ron-Pauls-rEVOLution-Movement-Inspired/dp/0062114794/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367718493&sr=8-1&keywords=brian+doherty He wrote really extensively on RP.
The Fed is held in high regard in most institutions of higher education. If you're writing this for a "normal" high school or college course, you might well get penalized for sharing the normal libertarian assessment of the Fed.
That said, since your question explicitly lists "pros and cons of the Fed", you might be writing for a receptive audience.
If that's the case, a quick read through End the Fed (or the Amazon summaries) will give you all the material you need.
Just know it's written by Ron Paul. That fact alone will color everything else the reader perceives about your paper.
I like the books Dog Sense and Cat Sense by John Bradshaw, an anthrozoologist. You might find Raymond Coppinger's work interesting as well.
For pure enjoyment, I found The Metaphysical Club by Louis Menand to be a great read. The subject matter (the birth of pragmatism as an American philosophical movement) may sound a little boring, but the book is motivated by a small cast of important characters, and gives an interesting view of an important time in Americas intellectual history. I couldn't put it down.
Louis Menand writes for The New Yorker regularly. He can come off as a bit of a snobbish prick in his essays, but he is a damn good writer and The Metaphysical Club is a masterpiece in my opinion.
AHh, thanks for calling me out on this one. I forget the exact book now (it's been a couple years), but may have been this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015ND2B0K/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i3
EDIT: Although I feel the one I'm remembering was written before 2015...so now I have to figure it out again. lol
Did Obama's mother work for the CIA? Was Obama recruited by the CIA in his early 20's? http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-has-john-brennan-got-on-obama.html
Barack Obama : A Gigantic Fraud upon the American People http://ian56.blogspot.com/2014/03/barack-obama-gigantic-fraud-upon.html
Obama’s Former Foreign Policy Adviser (Zbigniew Brzezinski) Said – In 1997 – that the US Had to Gain Control of Ukraine
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/03/president-obamas-former-foreign-policy-adviser-said-1997-u-s-gain-control-ukraine.html
The following is from an unreliable website so everything in it needs to be checked out. Certain things stated are irrefutable. Such as the fact that Brzezinski was a lecturer at Colombia at the same time Obama was a student in the early 1980's. Such as the fact that Brzezinski was Obama's senior foreign policy adiviser during his first term. The history between those periods has to be pieced together from fragments - the media aren't going to be printing anything about it anytime soon.
It's a very interesting and entirely plausible narrative
Confirmed - Obama Is Zbigniew Brzezinski Puppet http://www.rense.com/general81/abig.htm
There are a 101 other snippets on the net that Obama was recruited a very long time ago to be a covert puppet for the CFR and Trilateral Commission and the CIA.
It would answer an awful lot of questions
E.G. these
Why hasn't Obama fired John Brennan for spying on Congress? http://ian56.blogspot.com/2014/03/why-is-obama-silent-on-major-argument.html
Or these :-
An inconvenient truth for Barack Obama - He is a Corporatist NOT a Democrat
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/06/why-do-people-still-think-that-barack.html
Or these :-
PNAC's neocon agenda continues unabated under Barack Obama http://ian56.blogspot.com/2012/12/pnacs-neocon-agenda-continues-unabated.html
Obama: The Postmodern Coup - The Making of a Manchurian Candidate http://www.amazon.com/Obama-Postmodern-Making-Manchurian-Candidate/dp/0930852885
I really liked John Bradshaw's Dog Sense.
It's about the evolution of dogs as companions, as well as the newest research on dog psychology.
It did in 2009... O'keefe helped end ACORN, and Obama had to distance himself from them. All the media did was smear James. And only the republicans that already knew how bad ACORN & Obama were paid attention.
If you haven't read Breitbart's book Righteous Indignation, I highly recommend it. He talks about his work with O'Keefe and when they broke the ACORN story/videos.
You should read Jeff Simpson's The Friendly Dictatorship for a perspective of Canadian politics under Chretien.
From Amazon...
"what he[Jeff Simpson] sees as the central problem with Canadian democracy: that, due to a combination of voter apathy, media manipulation, a faulty political system, and internal wrangling within opposition parties, the Chretien government has been allowed uncontested access to the leadership of the country. The checks and balances that might hold the government accountable are useless. Question Period in the House of Commons, for instance, "is political theatre" in a manner that, as presented by nightly newscasts, "suggests that otherwise normal people, upon becoming politicians, shout and holler and otherwise make such fools of themselves." While the Conservatives fight amongst themselves, thereby effectively eliminating any chance at consolidating the country's right, the labour-minded NDP has been completely at a loss"
Sound familiar?
http://www.amazon.ca/Friendly-Dictatorship-Jeffrey-Simpson/dp/0771080786
If wikileaks is the intelligence agency of the people then Assange is the people's J Edgar Hoover.
Get a hold of the book Inside wikileaks. It's by the second wikileaks worker (Assange was the first) who got fired. The lead coder/architect of the site also left because Assange was such a nut. Their spokesperson in Iceland also walked.
The profile of Assange in the book is really interesting. Assange is a very smart, insanely driven guy. He's also a bit nuts and is paranoid and has an ego the size of Sweden. This account is also corroborated by other people who have dealt with Assange.
Assange did do something however, Crypthome has been doing the same thing as wikileaks for about 5 years longer but it has had a fraction of the impact. A super self-publicist like Assange was probably required.
And we can presumably read about it in Ron Paul's rEVOLution: The Man and the Movement He Inspired, which is fitting because it seems that a book or two and a footnote in the history will be Bernie's legacy as well.
If he took a page from Clinton's 2008 playbook, he would endorse her and campaign for her like hell. He could then trade it in for more influence in the Senate and perhaps a cabinet position or two for very liberal politicians. He could start getting some concert results instead of moral victories.
Check this book out from your local library for the pratical workings of majority government.
http://www.amazon.ca/Friendly-Dictatorship-Jeffrey-Simpson/dp/0771080786
The opposition has no power in a majority government.
However, it does matter if the majority is by one vote. For example, a few MPs can be sick or just too lazy to get to chamber to vote on bill x, y, or z. AFAIK there have been cases where the opposition has derailed government business by simply having more members in the house when a vote has come up.
Wow. Trolling while using a Ron Paul handle. I'm complaining about the fed because it has printed trillions of dollars from thin air, and that money has mostly bought wars, corruption, and other things bad for most Americans (and indeed, bad generally).
The increase in value of the dollar was largely the result of a mostly-free economy that grew dramatically in the 1800s despite the Civil War and other destruction. Also, due to new tech. Those factors have now been overwhelmed by the negatives of massive corruption and the on-going destruction of our currency.
[Edit]: Here's Ron Paul's author page at Amazon. You might be especially enlightened by his End the Fed, but everything he writes is pro-peace and anti-corruption.
Inside Wikileaks, or read the pdf here. Wikileaks changed after collateral murder. Maybe a bit before.
Hmmm have you read Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures? It is a different type of book from Burned Alive but was really great.
*Edit: Also Tears of the Desert and Bite of the Mango!
Thanks, I just added it to my audio book wishlist. I used to be skeptical of audiobooks because it didn't appear to be anything like reading, but I find I retain about as much info via the audio book, and go through them faster.
We sometimes use Matrix references to describe what it is to wake up and realize what's been going on in our society underneath a hard Marxist-influenced and controlled shell. Well, audio books (and actual books as well!) are the part of the movie where Neo goes through his training in fast-forward. We can do the same, relatively.
I'm listening to Breitbart's essential book right now as a tone-setter for the now, but after that will dive into something of a Classical Education in Economics, Socratic Method, Greek and Roman history, the biographies of the great Presidents and founding fathers, etc as WELL as an exploration of Marxism, Socialism, Alinsky, etc.
I think we need to encourage this far more on this sub. We should necessarily evolve the tone of what we do here from "24/7 rally" to a powerful place where we can get a bit more academic and solid with our theories. Fight the left with their own playbook, armed with information.
While I haven't read this lately, if you're looking for some quality non-fiction I highly recommend The Metaphysical Club by Louis Menand
Sunstein wrote a short monograph call How to Humble a Wingnut.
It's here:
http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo18914363.html
As well as Conspiracy theories and other dangerous ideas:
http://www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Theories-Other-Dangerous-Ideas/dp/1476726620
Looks like he touched a nerve judging by the reviews.
For anyone who is interested in why Americans come up with this crazy shit, I recommend Cass Sunstein's Conspiracy Theories. It pretty much deconstructs a bunch of conspiracies and why Americans are so keen on them. It's a really good read. Here's an amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Theories-Other-Dangerous-Ideas/dp/1476726620
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Escape-Camp-14-remarkable-odyssey/dp/0330519549
On a bit of a side note, if you're interested in this stuff, you'll probably like the work of Cass Sunstein. He's unbelievably prolific (he writes books faster than I can read them) and has a few areas of research interest related to the flaws in human decision-making and the potential ways governments might work for the greatest benefit of people in spite of them. In Conspiracy Theories and Other Dangerous Ideas, he talks about how the information loops people get sucked into can hugely skew their beliefs. In Simpler, he outlines improvements he tried to make in the Obama administration to improve regulation. In Valuing Life, he makes a case for a particular way of viewing risk regulation, an area that tends to horrify people unfamiliar with the policy area (the idea of setting a dollar value on reducing the probability of death horrifies people, because they see it as setting a dollar value on a human life).
And actually, on the subject of risk regulation, the Very Short Introduction on risk (this isn't by Sunstein) was very good and less fluffy than I had expected for something in that series. It mentions a lot of biases that people have in how they weigh risks.

>They will likely be unseated before we reach the 2030's.It's not the 20th century anymore where one party governs the country for like 2+ decades
I don't know if you remember, but before Adscam the Liberals were thought to be unbeatable, (hell on the wiki page for the 2004 election it says this "Earlier the election was widely expected to be a relatively easy romp for Martin to a fourth consecutive Liberal majority government, but early in 2004 Liberal popularity fell sharply due to the sponsorship scandal. Polls started to indicate the possibility of a minority government for the Liberals, or even a minority Conservative government, fueling speculation of coalitions with the other parties. In the end, the Liberals fared better than the final opinion polls had led them to fear, but well short of a majority.") so much so that one guy even wrote a book saying the Liberals were so unbeatable Canada might turn into a dictatorship and I really think that without adscam they could have stayed in power until the 2010's (after all, they were trusted on the economy, trusted on foreign affairs and with every passing election they were picking up more and more seats in Quebec so even if they lost some seats in Ontario due to the right wing vote being unified, (and I doubt they would have lost that many Ontario seats anyway) they had backup, and unseating a party like that is a monumental task).

Depends. In an ideal world, and in low stakes situations (like Wiked Campers'), then yes. In emergency situations, or where there are other large intangible WTFs, then it helps to be able to blow off steam. Here's an example at the really tough end of the spectrum.

"there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.”
I don't love Clinton. During the primary, I was Sanders all the way. But I'm beginning to really hate the people who are angry at Clinton for writing a freaking book about the election. It's just about the clearest example I've ever seen of double standards in the Democratic party. Sanders writes a book about losing? Nobody says anything. Clinton writes a book about losing? People lose their shit. I'm not going to call it sexist, because I don't want the headache of having to defend that, but I'm perfectly fine calling it hypocritical.
The Parody Book, as mave_of_wutilation and hashmap have already pointed out.

Thanks, there some others doing the same with other issues. Breitbart being under investigation, etc. How about one on Steve Bannon, more Mercers, Book by Breitbart, have not read it but others have said it helps understand conservative media. Find something you like.
No I am not.
This would be fantastic for the dollar.
Read End the Fed for a thorough explanation....
But here's your Reddit tldr:
Since the Fed was implemented in 1913 (and "coincidentally" the IRS), the value of the US dollar has been shrunk to about 4% of its original value.
This makes bankers and politicians rich, and everybody else poor.
[Life and Death in Shanghai by Cheng Nien] (https://www.amazon.com/Life-Death-Shanghai-Cheng-Nien/dp/0802145167)
Soul Mountain Paperback by Gao Xingjian (Author), Mabel Lee (Translator)
One Man's Bible by Gao Xingjian
Dogs and humans have spent the last roughly 15,000 years (or longer) living alongside one another. It's true that we have intervened a lot (especially over the last few hundred years!), but at the same time much of their desire/willingness to affiliate with humans is an innate quality... anthrozoologists think is just as likely to be a causal factor of how they've become so intertwined with humanity, as it is to be a product of it. We've surely enhanced their affiliative desires with selective breeding, but in all likelihood some of it was there in the "starter dough" for today's domestic dog.
They have a number of capabilities for interacting with humans that are unique in the animal kingdom. For example, eye tracking and oxytocin studies tell us that they read human facial expressions using the same gaze pattern humans use; these same studies show good evidence for canine ability to accurately interpret expressions. They also understand pointing, which is something not even Chimps can do.
I've been a lifelong dog lover and am an active trainer and competitor in dog sports, but I've only recently become aware of lots of the cool research that has gone on in the canine cognition/anthrozoology front over the last decade and a half.
For anyone interested in this topic, I highly recommend the book Dog Sense for a deeper dive. :)
Edit to add: remember, dogs aren't wolves! They didn't even evolve from wolves. Rather, dogs and wolves evolved from a common ancestor, whose behavior we obviously cannot observe as it no longer exists. Anthrozoologists think this common ancestor was, from a behavioral perspective, a midway point between the two (less bold than modern dogs, less human-averse than modern wolves). This "common ancestor" is easy to overlook, and many folks want to think of dogs as wolves we have domesticated. They aren't, which is one of many reasons their behavior is so different.

Believe he was the best president this nation has ever had... doesn't bother me.
There have been books written on the topic... read one of them.
Here's one to start you off:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Real-Jimmy-Carter-Ex-President/dp/0895260905
I have no interest is spending any time trying to show why Carter sucked and still sucks just like I have no interest explaining why the sun rises every morning and sets every evening.
No offense (honestly).
Learn to google. Seriously. I'm going to give you this one, but from now on, don't be fucking lazy.

But no. Please down vote so that you can blindly follow whatever party makes you feel good about yourself while getting fucked in the ass by said party.
No.

Here's a version of it with the cartoons, I think this most suits your level of intelligence
That's just the "boys are going to be boys" defense. My point is that the iconography is white-caucasian ethnocentric and grounded in racist tropes. Sure there were dark-skinned prehistoric humans but outside of "Clan of the Cave Bear" those have been rarely represented in popular media. Skin color has long been used to indicate "primitiveness". What's more: Agassiz (we have a boat name after him) believed in phrenology and that those of African descent were inferior to caucasiansr. For a college like MTU (lots of attached racial baggage) to approve such a tableau is just insensitive. Also, again, restating, Agassiz was a grade A racist asshole and we should not have a "research" vessel named after him.
